So this Saturday is the 28th annual Greenville Avenue St. Patrick’s Day Parade and as of right now, the weather looks stellar.

Be prepared for this puppy to last a while as I’ve got the inside word that 115 floats are going to be involved. There should be plenty of beads for everyone!

This notice heavily applies to the suburbanite types that like to “let’s go do Greenville” on the weekends.

Avi Adelman, and his Barking Dogs group, have managed to get the City of Dallas to put up signs protecting residential parking on certain streets around lower Greenville - of course, Avi and crew had to raise the money to get the signs made, but the City did install them.

Right now people are being ticketed, but be forewarned because towing will soon begin!

For some reason, the people that actually live around lower Greenville aren’t amused by the beer cans, trash and people pissing all over their yards. These club goers need to get in their cars and go back to whatever white trash part of Frisco they are from and piss in their parents yard instead.

To those living along lower Greenville, we in Deep Ellum feel your pain as well. Just last week I watched from my studio window as this line of cars pulled up in the middle of the afternoon and an entire herd of people in, what I’m guessing, was their very early 20’s got out of their cars, grabbed hold of their crotches to make sure the family jewels hadn’t somehow slipped down into the seats somewhere, proceed to crack open cans of beer to down them and do that stupid slow witted strut as they made their way east on Elm Street and then threw their empty cans by the Union Bankers building.

Needless to say, I’m then hanging out the window yelling at the females in the group to tell those half wits to pick up their trash on their way back. They did. I guess those yahoos were shamed by the biker trash female that I am. Good.

Dallas chef Brian Luscher is throwing in the towel at Tournament Players Club in Craig Ranch and buying the popular lower Greenville restaurant, The Grape.

The Grape has been open since 1972 and many personalities that are prevelant on today’s Dallas restaurant scene worked the kitchen or front of the house there.

The new ownership takes effect in October and Brian and his wife fully intend to keep the whimsical chalkboard menu and the rotate the dishes every couple weeks.

Area musicians have come together to help out dear friends, Bob & Denise Gentry, of Tyler.

Bob is an incredible bassist, great studio producer & engineer & all-round great guy. His wife, Denise, is a loving, creative, free-spirit with three beautiful children.

Like many musicians, they were without health insurance when Denise was diagnosed with lung cancer a few months ago. A fabulous benefit concert has been put together to help them in their time of need. This is your chance to hear great music in a great venue from many local bands & performers, including:
